Granted Dragonball has it’s own issue in the same territory. I even heard a joke: “How many Dragonball Z characters does it take to screw in a light bulb?” “Just one, but it will take them 5 episodes to do it.”

In fact the power ranger fighting scene(from the first gen at least) were the same than the original version(wich was from japan i think) so technically… yes the civilian scene and fighting scene were shot in two different countries

@Jan: there are two kinds of people in this world: those addict to a drug known as Suspension of Disbelief and those adept to the Dogma of Crude Realism. The former can be easily spotted because they still believe in Santa Claus at the age of 12 or even 30 (at least they try), while the latter stopped believing soon after weaning and are proud of it.

The former love tropes and everything that follows a well-established fictious scheme and are the ones who finance Hollywood, the latter would love if villains just shot the silly hero dead before continuing with their poker game without a blink, something that actually happens in some but clearly not enough movies (and other fiction) but is pretty common in reality.

In the end it’s the old battle between religion (faith) and science (knowledge) but transposed to other more purely cultural areas.

Coming home to this after seeing the new Power Rangers movie is… strange.
Like… the movie let me bury most of my childhood memories of how horribly corny and half-assed the TV series was, but you refreshed my memory. :(

(Yes, I realize this comic was posted four years ago, and probably isn’t at all relevant to the 2017 movie. Then again, the series ended in the 90s, didn’t it? So why make the comic in 2013 either?)
